Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriage (Pew Poll)
Pew Research ^ | September 22, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 09/23/2014 6:02:49 AM PDT by C19fan

The public is evenly divided over whether businesses that provide wedding services, like catering or flowers, should be required to provide services to same-sex couples despite religious objections to same-sex marriage. Half (49%) say that wedding-related businesses should be required to provide services to same-sex couples just as they would to all other customers, while 47% say that these businesses should be allowed to refuse services to same-sex couples for religious reasons.

TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: anotherpoll; gay; gaynewsrooms; hispanics; homosexual; homosexualagenda; pinkjournalism
The most interesting thing about the poll from my viewpoint is puts to a lie about Hispanics being so called "natural conservatives". Hispanics are +20 in approving gov't forcing private businesses to provide services to gay marriages, +20 stating homosexuality is not a sin, and +24 in approving same sex marriage, +47 on wanting more gov't spending. Catholic Hispanics were the most liberal group on both social and economic issue of the religious breakdowns the Pew poll provided.

I for one welcome our new homosexual overloads - /sarc.

Never has one group been able to so completely change and subvert public opinion. That half of Americans are OK with using the power of the state to force someone to do something against their religion is absolutely stunning.

Prison camps for Priests aren't that far away.

Exactly. No matter how many judges they pull into their camp, no matter how many court victories they gain... there’ll always be that natural-marriage component that will NEVER be achieved.

And they know it. Throw that argument their way, and they’ll laughably respond, “well, the courts say otherwise.” And my response to them is... “No, all you’re doing is ‘playing house.’ You know as well as I that you’ll never reach that level of a marriage before God, blessed by God. Ever.”

100% correct. It’s a complete myth, has never been true. Hispanics are natural (national?) socialists. The bulk are from Mexico, a failed state corrupt from stem to stern, run by elites, grifters, and criminals. Yet they are loyal to the bone, cheering for Mexico at any type of sporting event, flying the Mexican flag, etc. They are not American in any meaningful way.

They are natural democrats, 2 to 1

The American people have no concept of freedom and haven’t for decades.

notice how PEW is trying to pigeon hole the objection to homosexual sex marriage as “merely religious”.

This is to make religion the irrational side and hedonism the rational side of the argument.

Forget logic and reason. You do not need religion to win this debate of recreational hedonism vs rational social institutions.

And that is the part that people don’t get and that irks me the most. They have no vested interest in our success as a nation.

Aside from the economic and social repercussions of America’s giving over to this abomination; there is the fact that this is one of Satan’s crowning end-time achievements. The act of condoning, overlooking or supporting same-sex marriage makes one a partaker. That is especially true if it is done for materialistic or business gain.

I’m sure that not every citizen of Sodom was a deviant. A great many were likely those who chose to aid or support or simply accept. Their ultimate ends were identical.

I don’t recognize homosexuals who pretend they’re married, the State notwithstanding. Even those across the street. Never have. Never will.

In the good old days I remember seeing signs that read WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE.

Roger that. No matter how many Americans ultimately side with homosexuals, morality ain’t determined by majority vote. God has already judged them worthy of hell, and His vote is the only vote that counts. God will therefore mercilessly torture them for all eternity, AND all those who support them, unless they repent and turn away from their depravity.

God is who they ultimately oppose, and their rebellion against Him will not end well for them.
